    "content": " Thank you, Temporary Speaker. First of all, I want to appreciate and congratulate you for having the privilege of sitting in the Chairperson’s Panel. As a Member of this House, you have contributed immensely to the development of our country. I stand to support this Motion which I know every teacher is looking at us wondering why we decided to politicise everything in our country. This is especially matters that are under the social sector like education and health. We find ourselves every time so politicised that we want to make our country look like we are not one. Yet, remember when we were in school, we had teachers from other communities who helped us grow and understand Kenya is one. We are here to unite the country and when we talk about tribalism it is our teachers who removed it from us. Therefore, as I support, I want to agree with Members that we need a policy that must guide this process. We must ensure those who are young and want to traverse and understand Kenya are given an opportunity. For those who are near the age of retirement, we must give them the opportunity to go closer home. Therefore, as we speak about delocalisation, we have to ask ourselves the pros - what is good and bad. I think this House has to assist. I know TSC has many issues. Many people have sent me Short Message Service (SMS) that they were transferred yet their families are young. Also, our Government has a public service consisting of people from every tribe. So, we must ask ourselves. Do we want to work for Kenya? Do we want to enrich our country so that people can appreciate us; or do we want to remain in this tribalism disease which takes us backwards? That, even when employing we forget we are in public service."
